I also have a small dev team of 25 that wants to move to gitlab paid model but the upfront cost is too much. We need a monthly payment plan even if it costs more than annual one because I can't justify a high upfront cost to my ceo. We're rapidly expanding and expect to be 100 within 2021.

Indeed not enabling HTTP access on rsync.net servers makes sense, because it opens up such a big can of worms. If users want to they can use something like filestash (https://www.filestash.app/) that gives a drive-like access to storage placel that respect standards, such as SFTP. It's very easy to install on a cheap server and bridge to rsync.net without storing any secrets on that server

It is in fact much easier and less of a hassle (for me) than taking a pill everyday, which is what I used to do before I switched to injectables.

I’d think it’s fine to be hand-wavy:

Load balancing isn’t just about server load or congestion, it’s also about network load and congestion. If a web page or video takes longer for a user to download, it ties up the server longer too.[1]

Load balancing algorithms can also consider network paths or round trip times between the user and a server to give users a faster web download or video stream. To do this, they may use information from network routing topology, such as how many “hops” or routers between the user and the server, or may even triangulate actual network performance by assessing measurements from multiple data centers and load balancing to the most responsive.

1. See “snoshy” comment on latency in these comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25920284 — roughly, you aim to avoid queuing or connection creep, as you mentioned in the intro, and speed of opening, transmitting data over, then closing the connection, can make a huge difference.
Yarvin isn't, to my knowledge. It's a matter of how they communicate on the platform, vs off. It's entirely feasible for them to present their more anodyne content on the platform, while still expressing a wider range of ideas and opinions off of it. This has been the smartest strategy for a while. Twitter doesn't usually care what you do outside their platform.

While that is looking nice, (and I don't know how 'realtime' it is) it lacks the structure of the transmission nets, and the zoomability down to substation level in the towns/cities.
I can't remember exactly anymore, it didn't show every transformer in town, but the places where the high voltage overland transmission lines entered into town, and were transformed down to more managable levels were there. I think down to 10.000/50.000 Volts. That was different regionally. For instance Portugal vs. Germany.
I thought the whole point of the internet and protocols like TCP/IP is that it's supposed to be fault tolerant and traffic is supposed to automatically re-route. Seems kind of weird how a single cable being cut can cause half the country to lose internet...

It's needed for authentication but locally, it should be nearly fully functional. At worst, you should need to set up a subnet that's allowed without auth in the server's network settings.

Aside from that, internet is mostly needed for downloading metadata and the server can work just fine without an internet connection.
Fascinating animal:

The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a long-fingered lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar with rodent-like teeth that perpetually grow[4] and a special thin middle finger.

Among the aye-aye's signature traits are its fingers.[24] The third finger, which is much thinner than the others, is used for tapping, while the fourth finger, the longest, is used for pulling grubs and insects out of trees, using the hooked nail.[15] The skinny middle finger is unique in the animal kingdom in that it possesses a ball-and-socket metacarpophalangeal joint.[29] The aye-aye has also evolved a sixth digit, a pseudothumb, to aid in gripping.[30]

Unfortunately endangered:

The aye-aye was thought to be extinct in 1933, but was rediscovered in 1957. Nine individuals were transported to Nosy Mangabe, an island near Maroantsetra off eastern Madagascar, in 1966.[38] Recent research shows the aye-aye is more widespread than was previously thought, but its conservation status was changed to endangered in 2014.[1][2] This is for three main reasons: the aye-aye is considered evil, the forests of Madagascar are being destroyed, and the farmers will kill aye-ayes to protect their crops and for poaching. However, there is no direct evidence to suggest aye-ayes pose any legitimate threat to crops and therefore are killed based on superstition.[39]

what on earth is banking doing over there in the US? I wouldn't know how to write a cheque these days if I wanted to, and the only cheque I've seen in the last 10 years or so is from my (now deceased) grandmother in-law sending birthday money to my wife.

I'm guessing this is why several US payment companys and start-ups just don't make any sense to me: "make payments easier!"

but it's hard for me to understand how to make it easier than just typing in someone's phone number or email and sending them money, or purchasing via tap and go with your card/ phone. Don't you at least have electronic transfers if not those other newfangled technologies? are you (seriously) suggesting you can't transfer money between your accounts?
Yeah, it's in the category of "portable desktops". Still useful even if you only use it at home. Moving a desktop is a lot of work, moving this kind of machine from one room to another is easy.
What was their rationale for not doing as you suggested?
Not so bad --

* Grandfather current customers, which gitlab did at near minimum here (current year / ~no changes ?). ~Lifetime / tier would be better, esp as a growing co should be fine here revenue wise. Better current customers sing your praises internally + externally than say you're yet another couldn't-care-less quarter-driven bigco / sales-driven vc co: growth wins.

* Put new stuff in new plans/tiers. Gitlab VPs seem to be choosing a weak balance here.

I'm all for offering higher prices. Trick is, when adding stuff, people should pay more for more, and same / less for standing still. Let hungrier/spendier teams spend more, and cost-sensitive ones happily spread the good word.

Not what happened here? Gitlab seems big enough that all this doesn't really matter though, they are probably reaching a customer size and capital-intensitive enough moat that they don't care toooo much.

---

A good contrast is github / microsoft, which also is way into clever pricing:

- Way cheaper per-user at all tiers. We got tier-shifted at some point, but don't recall any pricing funniness during that.

- Adding customer abilities to spend infinite amounts, but via new layers, like pay-as-you-go CI/CD offerings that do not gauge existing users. I expect the prices to go down, not up, as they figure out more scaling tricks / computing improves and they try to get users more addicted.

GH/MS is probably working on a much bigger timescale than GitLab, as GH doesn't need to look at juicing numbers to fundraise / sell while buyers are willing, and instead focus on being a friendly shift-left answer to AWS/GCP

Github Actions, Github Checks API already offers more ways to extend it than GitLab. GitLab is really disappointing in that regard. Even for $99/mo you don't get it. There is also barely an ecosystem around GitLab.
The problem is that we're hitting the limits of what's feasible with current technology. Without a revolution in material science, we're likely stuck with incremental improvements in batteries.

Fuel cells and hydrogen storage will benefit drastically from increased R&D and economies of scale. Something as simple as thinner membranes and catalyst layers will dramatically reduce cost, but until recently there has been minimal effort in such ideas. Same is true of just having more production facilities.

There are numerous new ideas being explored for hydrogen storage. Only this year has someone figured out how to make a true hydrogen "battery" for you home: https://dlmag.com/lavo-hydrogen-hybrid-battery-stores-electr...

Why Tailwind Isn’t for Me
> The Republican presidential candidate won in 2016 despite losing the popular vote by a huge margin

The 2 point margin between Trump and Clinton was less than the margin between Bush and Kerry in 2004. Neither candidate cleared 50%. Clinton “won” the popular vote with a lower total percentage than Kerry lost the popular vote in 2004.

Also, these counter-factual are irrelevant. The popular vote doesn’t matter because nobody is trying to win the popular vote. That’s why Clinton didn’t campaign in Wisconsin (where Obama had racked up a huge margin in 2008 and 2012.) And that’s why Trump didn’t campaign in California. Changing the voting system would change how people campaign, so the popular vote tells you nothing. Also, if we moved to a “modern” voting system, we would use a run-off, like other countries have. Trump still might have won without the large libertarian vote eliminated.

> * There was ample evidence of the malfeasance being complained about in the 2016 election, while there was no evidence of the malfeasance being complained about in the 2020 election

Not in 2017 there wasn’t.

So were many of the people objecting to the 2020 election. With a Democratic House the objections were futile. They were symbolic.
> Like "ls" sometimes actually being aliased to a bash script, or maybe BSD having one implementation and Ubuntu another

It is true that BSD and linux sometimes have different implementations of posix commands.

The vast majority of linux distros are using the same gnu coreutils though. There are alternate implementations (like busybox, among others), but they're not often used in desktop distros.

I'm curious if you have any example of a linux distro that does treat ls so weirdly; that uses anything other gnu coreutils or busybox for it.

Does this imply airbyte only supports connectors that airbyte validates and integrates into the platform? Can I use an airbyte connector that lives in a repo on my private github?

This solves the problem of getting high quality connectors built, but how do you plan to maintain them? What if the original contributor falls off the face of the earth?
Well I think of it as the state machines and cellular automata. And yes, how cellular state machines work is clearly different than how a computer state machines work, they have a surprising (to me) lot in common. If you are interested in these comparisons I can recommend two books, one is Feynman's "Lectures on Computation" which discuss computation (and programming) in a very generalized way, and Nick Lane's "The Vital Question" which looks at the origins of life and discusses the evolution of multicellular organisms in a very approachable way.

Incentives, I would think. There are already smaller, private groups that have nation-state level zero days (after all, they sell these to governments…) but they would also need someone to use it on and the ability to ignore the consequences, neither of which seem to really be the case for a private company.

Today, we’re making GitHub Enterprise Server 3.0 available as a release candidate. Announced in the GitHub Universe Keynote, it’s the biggest ever change to Enterprise Server, bringing customers:

* Actions – developer-first workflow automation and CI/CD
* Packages – publish and consume packages together with code
* Mobile Apps (beta)- iOS and Android apps for collaborating from any device

For companies interested in automating code security with GitHub Advanced Security, we’re also bringing:

* Code scanning – scan every pull request for known vulnerabilities with CodeQL
* Secret scanning (beta) – detect credentials in code before they hit production
> Mozilla can't ethically constantly talk about privacy out of one side of its mouth while collecting data that can be used to track users who have explicitly requested them not to do that out of the other side.

1. They can if they're an order of magnitude better than everyone else, just like electric car makers can talk about being environmentally friendly despite the fact lithium isn't renewable

2. Are you sure it's tracking? What data is actually sent? Crash reports, update checks, network tests, motd fetching, cache preloading... don't count as "tracking users". Hell, even reporting on statistics (version, OS, platform, region...) isn't actually tracking users, but FF lets you disable that regardless because they know some people don't like it.

>Your paragraph suffers from using a shaky non inversible analogy

That's neither here nor there though. The brain doesn't have to follow a specific model (e.g. the shaky model ML uses, and I alluded to), for the analogy to work.

It just has to have memory and remembrance as a core attribute of learning, which it does.

Whether this happens through neurons and weights or some other mechanism, it's still remembering. Your counter-argument focused on implementation details.

>Remembering certainly plays a role in learning, though it is but one component. For it to be what learning is, everything has to be exactly the same with every instance.

Well, remembering doesn't just "play a role", it plays the biggest role in learning. It's not even remotely optional: without remembering there's no learning.

And inversely, discovering ourselves what we learn or applying it are both optional. I can listen to a professor tell me about something someone else discovered, and never apply it, but as long as I remember that information, I have learned it.

And, of course, as I already wrote, the contraption doesn't just remember but also discovers the solution (and can even re-apply it).
